FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. What is NanoActiv Azelaic?
NanoActiv Azelaic is an advanced, nano-engineered form of Azelaic Acid, specially formulated for personal care. This nano-delivery system enhances absorption, formulation stability, and skin benefits compared to standard Azelaic Acid.
2. What is Azelaic Acid and why is it valuable in skincare?
Azelaic Acid (Nonanedioic Acid) is a dicarboxylic acid naturally derived from wheat, barley, and rye. It’s widely praised for its ability to exfoliate, reduce acne and rosacea symptoms, even out skin tone, and diminish hyperpigmentation. It also delivers anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, making it a dermatology favorite for calm, radiant skin.
3. How does NanoActiv Azelaic differ from standard Azelaic Acid?
NanoActiv Azelaic retains all the therapeutic effects of conventional Azelaic Acid—antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and skin-brightening—while offering superior performance through nanoscale delivery. Benefits include better skin penetration, improved consistency, reduced irritation potential, and enhanced photostability.
4. What are the benefits of using NanoActiv Azelaic in personal care products?

6. What are the CAS Number and INCI Name of Azelaic Acid?
CAS Number: 123-99-9
INCI Name: Azelaic Acid
NanoActiv Azelaic retains this INCI name for regulatory clarity, though you may note its nano-form in documentation for transparency.
7. Is NanoActiv Azelaic safe for topical use?
Yes. Azelaic Acid is well-regarded for its safety profile and is commonly used in strengths up to 10% over-the-counter, with higher concentrations requiring prescription. It's gentle, non-irritating, and safe even for sensitive and melanin-rich skin types.
8. How should formulators integrate NanoActiv Azelaic into their products?
Add during the cooling or aqueous phase of your formulation—gentle mixing or homogenization ensures even nano-dispersion. Recommended usage levels range from 5% to 10%, depending on application—for example, 10% for targeted brightening or acne treatments, lower for daily maintenance.
